ATTORNEY the pulse train I5.

If necessary any desired shaping or regenerating networks may also be included in receiver i9. This discriminated pulse train is then applied to a clipper separator 20, diagrammatically illustrated as biased rectiers 2| and 22. Biasedw rectifier 2l passes only positive pulses 'icorrespon'ding to'- train 'I VwhileZZ passes onlyi'the negative pulses corresponding to train I3. The pulse output from rectifier 2| is applied to a pulse multiplex demodulating terminal 23. The output trainffrom clipper.22;.is applied over inverter 24 to a second pulse multiplex demodulator terminal f25-fWhich @may "be identical to the demodulatorterminal'i. JSince the operation of circuits for'such"demodulator terminals are well known the details thereof have not been illustrated herein.

It will be readily recognised that any of-the types of pulse multiplex modulatorsan'd "demodulators may be used, for example, they may consist of the time vdisplacement or" pulse Y:time

Amodulator circuits. "lns'teadlofpulse time modu- -la'tion -'it is clearthat pulse duration or width modulation, pulse code modulation or pulse vamplitude 'modulation-systems may be lprovided asf required. "-TWth the` use of' the system' herein edescribecl `thefnumbers voir-'channels transmitted mayfbe doubled-without' the addition 'of' further carrier sources. Likewise, since-fthe A'pulses `of trains? and l`3=arefofopposed polarity they will have'if lessleifect one-on another and, therefore, the degreei-of .cross i talk -isl substantially reduced.

'fMany modifications of this A`invention .will *readily present "themselves to vthose skilled in :theart While I havefdescribd'above'the principles of l'my invention' in connection with' -specific 1 apparatus,- itY is to vbe clearlyfunderstood that this description is made only by way of examplefarid -fnoiT-as'a' limitation to the scope of my'invention.
